JOE Valued Member United States 164 Posts	Posted 09/03/2008 10:06 pm Hi, I was checking some quarters, When I stumbled upon this coin with an unusual mint-mark, It likes like it might be a repunched mintmark, But I'm an extreme novice at understanding error and variety coins, So I'm turning to the experts. Does anyone know if this is an error/variety, And if it's worth saving? I took two photos of the front, under different lighting (I have a lousy camera), And I also posted the reverse of the coin in case there was something I missed. Thanks in advance for any help.

That coin looks like it spent some time in a Las Vegas slot machine. I know that the Mint Marks these days are on the Master Hubs so there is no real possibility that they can be re-punched since they are no longer punched into the Working Die. I cannot remember the year they stopped punching them right now...but I am sure someone can come up with that, and correct any mistakes in terminology, but it goes something like that Report this Post to the Staff
